Five Individuals Spotlighted Across the Country During National Down Syndrome Awareness Week NEW YORK, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OUTFRONT Media (NYSE: OUT), one of the largest out of home (OOH) media companies in the U.S., has partnered with the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) to unveil a new digital billboard campaign in honor of National Down Syndrome Awareness Week.
From Saturday, March 15 to World Down Syndrome Day on Friday, March, 21, the billboards will spotlight five individuals in their hometowns to raise awareness of Down syndrome. The campaign's message – "I Got That Extra" – highlights the extra traits that come with the copy of chromosome 21 in people with Down syndrome and celebrates the profound impacts these individuals make in our local communities. The creative is produced by OUTFRONT STUDIOS, OUTFRONT's in-house creative agency. "Down syndrome awareness is pivotal for NDSS but this work with OUTFRONT helps us push boundaries," said NDSS President & CEO, Kandi Pickard. "Together we are working towards something greater than awareness and shifting perceptions of Down syndrome. We're telling stories and changing mindsets one billboard at a time." The campaign features the following individuals:
"I'm proud to be part of this campaign because it tells the world that people with Down syndrome can do anything," said Angad Sahgal of Atlanta. "We have big dreams, and we deserve to be included and heard!" "It is important to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day to help others see past a diagnosis. I am so much more than Down syndrome," said Sean Davis of Houston. "Raising awareness of important causes and people through OOH creative is very important to us at OUTFRONT," said Liz Rave, Vice President Marketing at OUTFRONT. "I am very proud of the partnership between NDSS and OUTFRONT STUDIOS in creating a campaign that showcases Down syndrome in a completely different light, by sharing the story of five incredible individuals. I am confident this work will shift community perceptions during this important week." The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) Employment Program seeks to increase access to the workforce for all people with Down syndrome and provide valuable resources, support, and training to the community. Additionally, NDSS offers technical training for organizations seeking more involvement with disability employment. NDSS celebrates success stories from the perspective of employees, entrepreneurs and self-advocate business owners with Down syndrome, just like Angad, Max, Julia, Craig and Sean.
